Harbor Friegth welding cart

[DanRobinson]

There is a lot to like about this cart for the shooting sports but I don't have a truck to haul it in.

Has anyone modified one to take down so it can fit into a standard size trunk? Just looking for ideas.

Thanks

Be nice to post a picture of it.

Looks like it would be simple to remove two bolts and swing the upper handle down in the front. Has nice big wheels.

ETA: Nah, he must mean the other thing. Not sure either is best as the red one will get tippy if you don't have the weight at the bottom. I think the wagon approach works better or the stroller for 3G.

The red one is what I'm talking bout. I have seen them on different range s but always pulled out of a truck. Hop

ing someone had already come up with a quick take down solution I could copy. Hate to re-invent the wheel if it had already been done successfully.

If you did not like the swing/fold down suggestion you could totally remove the upper handle by removing 4 bolts instead of removing two and loosening the other two. Guess after that you could remove the wheels if necessary.

Build something based on this kind of 2-wheel cart... http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/material-handling/hand-trucks-dollies/hand-trucks-folding/best-value-folding-hand-cart-200-lb-capacity?infoParam.campaignId=T9F&gclid=CKvgnOD1vs0CFQKTaQodKFIKdA

Why reinvent the wheel, so to speak? http://www.doublealpha.biz/eckla-beach-rollyfor like $99.00 + some shipping seems reasonable to me.

I know many will disagree with said "reasonable price", but think about how much money in sponsorship dollars companies like DAA put into our sport.

They sell many types... http://www.doublealpha.biz/range-carts?osCsid=f24820ffd44c87555bd7ed2176c9811d

I've been using the Harbor Freight welding cart for several years now. I typically haul it in the bed of a pickup truck but when hauling it in the trunk of a car, I pull off the handle and wheels.

I replaced the nuts that hold the handle with wing nuts so no tools are needed. I replaced the cotter pins that hold on the wheels with some pins I picked up from Home Depot. They look just like the pins used in Dillon primer tubes, only larger.

Dewalt makes a heavy duty plastic tool box that fits nicely into the cart. Two of those stacked on top of each other will hold a lot of gear. If its mid-summer, instead of the Dewalt tool boxes I place a small ice chest in the cart with a shooter's bag on top. To help hold everything together, I made a rail out of 1x2 wood bolted to the frame. Bungee cords also help.

I also added ATV gun racks so I can use it for 3 gunning.

One local range had rough terrain between stages and the big wheels made it easier to move gear than my Rugged Gear cart.

I have the same cart set up in a similar fashion for 3 gun except that I use a larger MTM dry box that sits on the bottom shelf. Wing nuts, washers and longer bolts (with some spares) solved the handle issue.

Hello: Look at the Tipke Foldit cart. It is a little pricey but it folds flat easily and fits in the trunk of my diesel Jetta. You can make inserts to use it for 3-gun or sporting clays. Great around the house also to collect leaves etc. The DAA cart I bought works great for my Shooters Connection backpack as well. Both of these carts store easily on the wall and don't take up much garage space. Thanks, Eric
